An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to
invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.
The boy's school says he has violated the children's rights and has complained
to the Swedish Parliament.
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council in Kent was accused of taking political
correctness to extremes after instructing staff to make the change.
The move came as council chiefs feared the word brainstorming might offend
mentally ill people and those with epilepsy.
The Age's Catherine Deveny is another renewable source of stupid. The defamer gives us insights into this woman's subtle ability with words:
The Footy Show is a celebration of the very worst that television, sport, Australia and human beings can cook up. It's offensive, toxic, corrosive, encouraging viewers to be stupid, shallow and sexist. Sit down, shut up and hang on. And ladies, bring a plate.
Such outbursts would cause an attack of hives or the vapours from anyone with lessers powers of stupid. All hail Catherine!
